Description
Clarity was the primary goal of the NLT translators, not only to facilitate private reading and understanding but also to ensure that it would be excellent for public reading and make an immediate impact leading the reader and all hearers, to the knowledge of the need for all mankind to be saved by the forgiveness of their sins, which can only be obtained through the sacrificial life and atoning death of Jesus the Christ (Book of Acts 4:12) .
